Clyne Valley Shaft Mounds is a Post Medieval and Modern industrial monument in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument (SAM GM455) by Cadw. The site comprises spoil heaps and surface remains associated with coal mining operations in the Clyne Valley, reflecting the intensive mineral extraction that characterised South Wales during the industrial period. The shaft mounds themselves represent the accumulated waste material from deep mining activity, their physical form preserving evidence of the scale and methods of coal extraction in this region. As a record of Wales's industrial heritage, the monument contributes to understanding the landscape transformation wrought by the coal industry from the eighteenth century onwards.
